Chapter 146 – Sky-diving beetles

  Timothy was in big trouble. He wasly surrounded by his enemies, but there were still four Demoles charging at him, and he had to do something about it!

  It was difficult enough to move himself out of danger, sidering that he was sore to the point of immobility. Fighting these beetles exceeded the threshold of the difficulty he could handle all together, he wasn’t ready!

  Tim wasn’t ready, but he was very angry! With anger fueling him, he mao e up with a qui that might just spare him thousands of points of mana. Sure he had to use his pain, but it might now be too expehis time around.

  First, he helped himself stand up straight, using the bony little pnk that he had made for himself earlier on. This barely took a sed, and it didn’t require much mana to simply move a bone, so he only ended up spending fifty points which was good, but nothing about this experience was fun.

  “Holy shit!” He grunted, as the sudden movement he made, forced his entire body to a severe ache!

  The pain almost knocked him out, but he didn’t give up. He forcefully moved his hand out afterwards, and then activated the Soul Grabber ability! He had to use his hands for this, because it was the best way to grab the souls of specific targets.

  With this ability to his aid, he grabbed on to the soul of the smallest beetle from the bunch, and then forced the beetle to jump up, which forced it to roll down the hill afterwards because he let go of its soul, at the exact right time! He did this, because he was very well aware that he couldn't grab four souls at a time, so he made a bit of an advantage for himself.

  With that sidered, the move was about to be a bit expensive. He grabbed the three remainiles by their soul, moments before they were about to mow him down food! The closest one had only been five feet away from him, so he really dodged the coffin with this move.

  “Oh, you ugly bastard...” He grunted, and he had grabbed them by the soul hard enough to lift them up, they were airborne now. “The red ones really look like demons! It's a very accurate name, I'll give them that.”

  The remainder of his idea was to lift them as high as possible, and then just drop them from the sky. It was a simple, and brute idea, but it was bound to be effective!

  Tim lifted them towards the sky, but apparently, the individual weight of each beetle mattered a lot here. He had mao lift the three-foot tall beetle fifty feet above the ground already, which was great, but its fat friend was barely fiftee up right now. It took a signifit amount of time to lift him up, and this was a bit uandable the more he thought about it, but it was annoying heless! His arms were stu pce, and he ending a lot of mana, so it was taking more effort than he had initially hoped it would take in order to kill these bugs!

  “Fat bastard,” He grunted, and then used both of his hands to lift that one, seven-foot tall beetle. “This is gonna cost a bunch.”

  The rest of these beetles weren't as lucky, however, as he flew them well above a hundred feet by now, so it was time to toss them. As he tossed them, he made sure to hurl them down with a bit of a spin, just so they couldn't use their i wings tain their bance, mid air! Their wings were really small, so this part of his idea was golden.

  They fell from the sky, and the momentum that they gaihroughout their fall, was enough to do the job! Their shells cracked.

  Tim couldn't be happier about this, especially since he hadn't eve a thousand mana points yet, he felt proud. There were two new kills to his name, so most of the battle was over, and apparently it was cheaper to win if he was less creative with his battles. Creativity was a difficult thing to avoid, though, sidering that his CQ was close to two-hundred points in this goblin form, so it was truly difficult to reject his own senses, but he had to be cautious.

  Anyway, as he lifted the big oowards the sky, that tile had finally mao climb up the hill again. He hadn't dropped this one from the sky, but rather, he tossed it down the hill a moment ago whetle began, so it wasn’t a surprise how this one hadn't died yet.

  Sihis beetle uny, and shorter than him in parison, he decided to shoot a lightning bolt at it. This was effective, the bug exploded into a million pieces before its remains were littered across the hill afterwards.

  “Hehe,” He grinned, as this battle became more and more fun.

  There was only one bug left for him to kill, and this one was twenty feet above the ground right now. It may take a while to put this one on a high enough point, and this was expensive, so Tim couldn't help but unleash his frustrations against the bug!

  Through a single fireball, he burs i wings, so it couldn't try to fly itself to safety ter on, even if it tried to. This was a horrid practice of his powers, but this same bug would be gnawing on his bones right now if he hadn't defended himself, so he didn’t feel bad about t it.

  Along with this ret fireball, he was fifteen-hundred mana points deep into the spending frenzy, but this time around he wasn’t as worried, because he would at least get a bunch of system points iurn! The spending-and-rewarding ratio was finally smoothing down a bit.

  “I could've gotten out of here a long time ago if I turned into a ghost, god damn it.” He cussed, and he was rightfully irritated. “At least I say that I killed five Demoles, and I bet no one top that, hehe.”

  Half a mier, he got the st bug to the one-hundred feet high, aerial point. This was good enough to do the trick, so he just dropped the bug, however, he ended up dropping it on a trajectory which was very close to where he was standing, so he summohe Bone Multiplier ability , and darted out of there! The bug missed him by two feet, but at least it was finally dead.

  “Jesus!” He grunted, “That was stupid.”

  [gratutions!] The system beeped, [You killed four more Deemoles, so you received 2,800 system points as a reward. In total, you’ve accumuted 7,000 points.]

  “That's awesome,” He celebrated, but then the adrenaline wore off, so he fainted just seds ter.

  Tim fell from his transportational set of bones, and plummeted towards the ground from a height of ten whole feet! He nded very close to where the rest of the dead bugs were.
